It would just mean that the chemistry that is needed to make life is found a lot of places. Aka, bacteria is abundant around in the universe.

Multi-cellular organisms are a fluke.

Humans are a super-fluke on top of a fluke.

So no, don't count on meeting extraterrestial humans speaking English anytime soon.

No, it just means that if we find life on other worlds, it might share similar biology with us. Humanoids are the result of hundreds of millions of years of natural selection on Earth. Other planets would have different selection pressures, and would produce very different types of creatures.

It's still possible that some alien species might resemble us. But it's just as likely they would resemble lizards, or insects, or birds, or they may be completely unlike anything on Earth.

Reply to comment by jilljackmuse in Why do we assume aliens have similar technologies or more advanced technologies than we do? by jilljackmuse

I don't see how this is relevant. You were talking about the "industrial revolution" specifically being a factor for other alien species to have similar or more advanced tech than us.

The idea is that other alien species would reach our level of intelligence or greater. And regardless of an industrial revolution, technology would come about because of intellectual achievements similar to the ones I mentioned here on Earth (Isaac Newton, Galileo, etc).

Or, based on your neanderthal/homo erectus comment, is your question that other alien species can't and won't reach our level of intelligence (or greater) at all?

Reply to comment by subatomicslim in What is this exactly? I have seen this universe image a lot and never understood what it actually is by subatomicslim

It's a 3D image of the stars/galaxies we have mapped from Earth. You are seeing it from the side. It's from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.

We can't map the entire sky from Earth because the Milky Way is in the way. It limits the angles we can look. That is why there is a big blank area in the middle.

Quantum teleportation is the transmission of a quantum state from one location to another through a classical communication channel. What does that have to do with information transmission through entanglement?
